Crabby and cranky 5th day post op



Recommended Posts

Each day I physically feel better. Today I got an early 30 grams Protein in and felt ahead of the game. Started to focus on other things that needed to be done around the house and yard and over did things. Got pissy with everyone. Lost track of protein and Water intake. Note to self: early in the journey, stay focused on this recent surgery!!!!

Lol....I stopped my husband mid-sentence today and told him to stop talking as I knew he was going to say something annoying and I didn't want to hear it. Yeah. That went over well. (I'm day 6 post - op)

Very very common as you are still very close to the surgery. Everything in your body is trying to heal and your emotions are all over the place because things are already changing. your system is adjusting to the changes you are making. And even though they are ultimately for the good our bodies will fight us.

Even now almost 2 years out I still lose it with those who are closest to me. Rare but it still can happen. This is a new transformation of our entire selves. Ups and downs, good and bad. But the final outcome will be better health and well being..... Just keep swimming ladies! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
